800-900 is a sufficient amount for lang analysis, and excess of 1000 words for context and text response (try to write at least 800, but 1000+ is ideal, try not to exceed 1200-1300). At the end of the day it’s always quality over quantity, but writing something really short could restrict the amount of quality (remember that you are up against people that can write 1000+ words of quality shit).
